The Villa is located in a small, quiet village surrounded by nature. Please be considerate of our neighbors during your stay. Dogs and cats live in the surrounding area. Please do not feed them, even if they approach you. Okinawa’s warm, natural environment means mosquitoes and other insects may be present throughout the year. Mosquito coils are provided, but we recommend bringing insect repellent if needed. You may also hear birds and insects around the property, and occasionally geckos or small insects may find their way indoors. We hope you will embrace this closeness to nature and village life as part of the SHINMINKA Villa experience.

To reduce environmental impact, we provide only essential amenities. Provided: Towels / Slippers / Shampoo / Conditioner / Body Soap / Hand Soap Disposable amenities such as toothbrushes and razors are not provided. We kindly ask you to bring your own personal items.

Typhoons may occur in Okinawa and the Amami Islands, particularly between May and October. Our standard cancellation policy applies to cancellations due to typhoons, tropical storms, flight or ferry cancellations, and other transportation disruptions caused by weather conditions. If a typhoon is approaching, please check the latest weather and transportation updates and make your decision with safety as your priority. If you are concerned about unexpected illness, injury, or transportation cancellations, we recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance in advance.
